Plastic recycling is gaining traction to reduce the demand for fossil resources for plastic production. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), mainly used in the packaging and textile sectors, is often isolated in the sinking fraction during the density-based separation of mixed plastic waste streams. The heterogeneity of the sinking fraction makes direct mechanical recycling of PET impossible.

Introduction: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a chronic, progressive lung disease characterized by worsening lung scarring and the radiological/histological pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia. Substantial progress has been made in the clinical management of IPF in the last decade. The two novel antifibrotics, Nintedanib and Pirfenidone have changed the landscape of IPF, by hindering disease progression; however, the drugs have significant discontinuation rates, due to adverse events and do not offer a definitive cure, as such IPF remains a deleterious disease with poor survival.

Non-coding RNAs occupy a significant fraction of the human genome. Their biological significance is backed up by a plethora of emerging evidence. One of the most robust approaches to demonstrate non-coding RNA's biological relevance is through their prognostic value.

Mitochondrial dynamics is highly implicated in a plethora of cellular processes including apoptosis and mitophagy. However, little is known about the scope and precise functions of mitochondrial dynamics proteins for mitochondrial quality control and cellular homeostasis. Whether mitochondrial dynamics proteins serve in cellular processes reliant on mitochondrial fission-fusion is still not fully explored.

Although best understood as a degradative pathway, recent evidence demonstrates pronounced involvement of the macroautophagic/autophagic molecular machinery in cellular secretion. With either overexpression or inhibition of autophagy mediators, dramatic alterations in the cellular secretory profile occur. This affects secretion of a plethora of factors ranging from cytokines, to granule contents, and even viral particles.
